Haanel’s book is so comprehensive that I find my mind blanking out when I’m reading it. It seems as though it’s rejecting the information and then I have to go over the same paragraph many times or even just one sentence.
When I stand back and look at what I’ve just read, my mind shows cement from years of programming and then it’s scary to think that I have control over it and what have I been doing with it all of this time.
I’m not absorbing it the way I’d like to be and so it’s times over the material. The way I can tell that this is happening is I’m struggling when reading it. What did I just read? Not remembering and it’s not sinking in.
I need to comprehend this with more than just a surface passing. Just an interesting observation.
You are aware 🙂 Being the observer is significant!
The struggle means you’re growing new mental muscles. Keep chipping away at that cement, Babs!
I understand what you’re saying. For me, I seem to “get it” and love what I’m reading. But, I’ve been drawn to these concepts for decades. I’ve thought it would be great to have a discussion group (MMA) just to talk about these lessons.
I can relate, Babs. That’s why I keep studying it year after year:) I get more value every time!
